AOC Launches Its First Curved Gaming Monitor For US Market

AOC announced the U.S. availability of its C3583FQ curved gaming monitor. Although it was previously available in Europe, this is the first curved gaming display that AOC has released stateside.

The AOC C3583FQ features a 35-inch 2560x1080 curved TFT active matrix LCD panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio operating at 144 Hz. It sports a 4 ms response time, a 50,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 178/178 viewing angles. The 2000R display offers more “curve” than other panels at 4000R. You could feasibly create a complete circle of monitors with a diameter of 13 feet, enjoying the view from the center of the array seated 6.5 feet away from the screens.

The resolution and response time leaves much to be desired, as enthusiasts investing in a pricey gaming display generally crave more pixels and response times closer to 1 ms. However, the addition of VESA’s Adaptive-Sync technology gives the C3583FQ the potential to deliver buttery-smooth framerates, and the lower resolution is useful for users with mainstream GPUs seeking to upgrade their display without purchasing a new graphics card for a display with a higher pixel count.

The AOC C3583FQ also features two 5-watt speakers in the rear panel, in addition to two HDMI ports, two DisplayPorts, a DVI port and a VGA input. The power jack and inputs are all located on the base of the display, instead of directly behind the panel like most traditional monitors.

Hum you do realize it's a 21:9 monitor? The vertical height is probably similar to a 24 or 27 inches even though it's a 35 inches. And 1080p is perfectly fine for 24 or 27 inches. Unless you're sitting one foot away from your monitor of course.

PHOTONBOY,The 6.5 feet comment is a comment about the curve of the screen and isn't saying anything about three monitors. He states a full circle which would be about 20 I think. I'm pretty sure he isn't being serious.

IF the inputs were on monitor and this had VESA mounts I'd be buying 3. The people here complaining about the resolution really should stop and think for a moment. This is an ultra wide 144hz monitor. The chances any of you have the ability to run your games at 144 fps+ on this monitor is slim and across 3 is nearly null. The "35 inches" is measured kitty corner meaning the actual height of the monitor will be roughly that of a 24-28" monitor.

EDIT: Only the EU model states 160hz , same model number but the US one is 144hz.

Saw a 4k monitor sitting next to a 1080 monitor running a benchmark program and was like meh, no difference. If the screen was an inch from my eyes or 200" accross, I could see a reason but not on sub 30".

The pixel density debate is a bit pointless to me since it is so personal. If you cannot tell the difference great for you! If you have never used a monitor above 1080 and are fine with this panel size and density - awesome this would make a nice monitor for you.

I, on the other hand, have been spoiled since 2012 and my first Catleap with 1440 goodness and I can EASILY spot the difference and sit (well depending on how bad I slouch) somewhere around 2-3' from my panels (3 of em). Now 4k is a bit harder for me to see a difference in some scenarios, but that is aging eyes. Of course, not having a 4k panel sitting next to my 1440s means I am not missing anything at the moment.

Point is arguing pixel density preference is like arguing for large or small breasts - there's plenty for everyone to be happy!

oh i forgot to add i like the look of it but there's no VESA mounts and the price is freaking ridiculouscall me when the price hits $225 that's the max i am willing to pay.i'd rather waste that much on a 42"tv poser 4k@3840

I have a 34" 3440x1440 and a 24" 1920x1080. My 34" is much clearer than even my 24"! To put 2560x1080 on a 35" you would have to be blind not the see every pixel staring at you. In this case never mind the 144hz cause your eyes are already screwed if the resolution doesn't bother you haha ??
